1960s native rights :: alcatraz was my family home

1960s native rights :: alcatraz was my family's home

as a native american citizen i am grateful alcatraz occupation attention
focused the world on native existence + reignited native pride as
separate from american pride, + us government didn't hurt the natives. 

as a mixed native, i wouldn't have been born if it weren't for alcatraz;
one of my ancestors was the 1st european boy born on alcatraz 1878.
so i am descended from both lineages + assimilated. watch this:
